Township Manager LetterHello fellow residents. Welcome to a hard earned summer! After this past winter and what would hardly be considered spring, we can hopefully look forward to nicer weather. With that weather comes a variety of events to enjoy in Thornbury Township. Check out our website for the calendar of events, but the Fourth of July Parade, Friday night movies and the Thornbury Summer Camp are a few of the highlights.
As the weather changes, many of us find ourselves clearing out unwanted clothes or other household items. The Township offers a few options through our big trash pick-up, electronic and “anything with a
plug” recycling, and of course our regular recycling program. Another great option came to light during a recent tour of the Goodwill Store and Donation Center in Exton.
Goodwill accepts clothing and shoes in any condition. I always thought that you shouldn’t take damaged or stained clothing or worn out shoes. Wrong. Goodwill finds a home for almost everything they accept. If items can’t be resold, they are recycled for rags or sent to textile mills for recycling. The wonderful thing is that all of the profit goes to fulfilling their mission statement; Goodwill works to enhance the dignity
and quality of life of individuals and families by strengthening communities, eliminating barriers to opportunity, and helping people in need reach their full potential through learning and the power of work.
Please consider helping Goodwill in their efforts, take the time to bag up some of your unwanted goods and deliver them to a local Goodwill Store. They can use the items, and you may be able to use the tax deduction.
Jeff Seagraves, township manager

Hello fellow residents. Once again we are welcoming spring with enthusiasm and looking forward to the many events planned by the Park and Recreation Board and the Township staff for Summer fun.
We always start the season off with our Annual Memorial Day Ceremony at Thornbury Park. This ceremony gets bigger every year. It is a testament to our community that so many people make this ceremony a priority.
We started an important tradition in 2012, when we instituted Founder’s Day. The 2015 Founder’s Day follows tradition, in being another home-town community celebration enjoyed by all of our wonderful residents. The fun will continue in 2016, as well!
As you may have noticed, after many phone calls, we finally got Penn DOT to repair the state roads within our Township. Thank you for your patience.
The Board of Supervisors welcomes you to attend all of our meetings but especially our annual, outdoor meeting. On June 3rd 2015 please join us at Thornbury Park at 7:00 pm. Lite refreshments will be served.
In April we celebrated our 8th Annual Local Government Day at Thornbury Township. Rustin High School Seniors came to learn about how their government operates and how it directly affects them. The students were inspired by Rep. Tom Killion, Sen. Dominic Pileggi’s chief of staff, Darren Smith, Judge Wendy Roberts, and Delaware County’s District Attorney Jack Whelan and County Council, to name a few. The students are encouraged to get involved, volunteer and most importantly—vote.
Summer is here! Please practice pool safety and drive carefully as you head to your vacation spot. See you around town! Jim Raith, Chairman board of supervisors
Harriet Tuttle Retires from Thornbury Preschool
Harriet taught and ran Thornbury
Preschool since 1999 and retired this
past Spring. The school is now in the
capable and caring hands of one of her
best teachers, Christine Kirkland. “Mrs.
Tuttle was entrusted with many of our
children over the years, some of whom
are now in college” said Chairman
Raith. Harriett said that she had a lot
of the fun through the years. The Board
presented Harriett with a bouquet
of flowers and wished her and her
husband Paul a very happy retirement.

Dog Waste DangersAmericans spend close to 60 billion dollars each year on their pets and there are over 80 million dogs in America. We all love our fury friends, but no one loves to clean up after them, yet it is one of the most important jobs as a dog owner. Some people believe that dog poop will act as mulch or is good for the soil. That is not true.
Dog feces left on the ground, whether it is in the shrubs or woods or on the pavement, will wash into waterways, sometimes carrying bacteria that can make people sick. Because dogs eat just about anything, and their digestive systems can handle just about anything, their poop is very toxic. Just one dog will produce more bacteria in one day than a person, a horse and a cow combined. The CDC warns us that one single dog dropping can contain 3 million fecal bacteria, along with parasites and viruses that can be passed to humans and other pets as well. Scientists developed a new genetic test to figure out how much dogs
are contributing to bacteria in our waterways. Dog feces is third on the list of contributors to contaminated water. In just a couple of days, 100 dogs can deposit enough bacteria to temporarily close a bay, and all watershed areas within 20 miles of it, to swimming and fishing. Think about that for a minute: 100 dogs can contaminate 20 miles of rivers, lakes, streams and runoff areas.
What can you do to properly dispose of your pet’s feces? There is a new pet service available now contributing to the 60 billion we spend. Companies will actually come to your home and pick up after your dog, horse, cow, or cat. You can do the same for free, pick it up in a biodegradable bag and throw it in your trash can. Another option is to pick it up and flush it down the toilet. Always carry biodegradable bags with you, share them with fellow dog walkers. Do your part—and ask your friends and neighbors to do the same.

In late March, Thornbury’s EAC and helpful residents conducted the first trail clearing of the year and created an attractive wooded walking trail that meanders along the Chester Creek, and gives one very little sense that they are in a suburban community. Thornbury’s latest open space acquisition is the historic Grove Farm along Station Road. We are looking forward to future connection to the Luckenbach Trail here. Unfortunately due to a sewer pipe break the CRC had to cancel their annual Stream Clean-Up for fear of a pollution threat. For many years we have marked our trails with
white plastic circular disks. These have required replacement or annual maintenance. This year on the Patterson Woods Trail we have used a white triangle painted directly
on the trunk. If this proves successful we will continue this approach on all trails, so be prepared to see either of the two trail markers in the future. The two trails
(Luckenbach and Patterson Woods) are footpaths which were in quite good condition and gave evidence of frequent use (which minimized the maintenance needed). We were encouraged that folks are “exploring” our Township this way.

“Our buildings are not ours. They belong, partly to those who built them and partly to the generations of mankind who are to follow us. The dead still have their right to them: That which they labored for… we have no right to obliterate. What we ourselves have built, we are at liberty to throw down. But what other men gave their strength and wealth and life to accomplish, their right over it does not pass away with their death.”
—John Ruskin
How many acres do you need to live comfortably? Family Acreage Requirements in the 1700’s
During the 1700’s James Lemon, a researcher who studied southeastern Pennsylvania extensively, constructed a table of what a family of five would require to live comfortably in this region. Based on his calculations, a family of five would need six acres devoted to cultivation of wheat and rye. Lemon determined that the average yield for wheat and rye was 10 bushels per acre which meant the family had 60 bushels of grain for its bread production during the year. In addition, two acres would be needed for a garden, orchard and flax bed to produce enough vegetables, fruit and clothing for the family over the year. An additional 65 to 70 acres was necessary for the raising of five pigs, a steer, five cows, eight sheep and four horses. Thus about 75 acres was required to support a family of five.
Planning Commission News
Subdivision and Land Development:Redding Subdivision – Sketch Plan, 158 Locksley Rd.: The plan depicts a 3 lot subdivision of the 9.71 acre property. The subdivision would create 2 lots (each lot consisting of 2 acres) for development of single family detached dwellings. The third lot would contain the existing 2 story dwelling on a 5.036 acre lot. Discussion began on January 14, 2015. Discussions will continue once revised plans are received.
Crane Tract, Preliminary, Major Subdivision, 105 Stoney Bank Rd. The plan proposes to subdivide 55 acres into 29 lots (23 lots to the east of Stoney
Bank Rd. and 4 lots to the west of Stoney Bank Rd.), 27 being residential with 2 serving as open space. Discussion began on May 8, 2013. The last discussion was held on March 12, 2014. Discussions will continue once revised plans are received.
Ordinances:Pipeline Regulations Ordinance: This item was discussed at the February and March Planning Commission meetings. At the March meeting there was a consensus by the members to postpone further discussion until the members could deliberate on numerous associated topics, such as noise limits and setbacks.

Before reaching for the OFF try these easy to
grow plants that actually repel mosquitos.
They are beautiful and DEET-FREE!
Citronella
Like the candles and torches, the distinctive
citronella aroma masks other attractants to
mosquitoes, which makes it hard for the pests
to find you. The plant is better since it has a
stronger smell. It can grow to 5-6 feet and can
be brought inside in the winter if in a planter.
Horsemint
Otherwise known as Beebalm. This plant is a
lot like Citronella, it gives off a strong incense
like odor which confuses the mosquito. Its
odor masks the smell of you. This plant grows
fast and enjoys shade.
Ageratum
Mosquitos despise the smell of this plant. The
ageratum has a pretty blue flower and does
well in sun or partial sun.
Catnip
Scientists can’t figure out why the mosquitos
hate this plant but they do. This plant has
been proven to be more effective than DEET.
This plant grows like a weed. Cats do not like
this plant either, so cat owners may not want
to try this one.
Marigolds
This flower contains Pyrethrum which is a
compound used in many insect repellents. The
bright color may attract wasps, so keep these
flowers in the garden. They also repel insects
from eating your vegetables.
Disposing of grass clippings is the most labor-intensive part of mowing the lawn for many homeowners. You can skip all that work and let your grass clippings fertilize your lawn for free. Grass clippings contain nitrogen and phosphorus and can fertilize your lawn naturally. This can cut or eliminate the need for additional fertilizers, which can damage our streams. Clippings can also be composted and used to create high-quality fertilizers for your garden.
Start mowing by making two or three passes blowing grass clippings into the center of your lawn, not the street or driveway. Make sure to mow when grass is dry so that clippings do not clump together. Set the mower to a height of 2½ to 3 inches to better hide clippings and keep a healthier lawn. Mow weekly in the spring and as needed through the summer. Clippings left on your lawn will biodegrade quickly because they are 90% water. It should not cause thatch buildup. If the grass is very high (say, after returning from a vacation), consider making two cuts: a “trim” with the mower set high, followed a few days later by a cut to your regular length. This will give the clippings a chance to degrade into the lawn and avoid having long clippings covering the lawn.
To be sure you are giving your yard the nutrients it needs and not providing too much fertilizer, test your soil. Contact your local Penn State Extension office to order a soil test kit for only $9-12 (Delaware County: 610-690-2655, Chester County: 610-696-3500).
For your lawn and your streams, keep your grass clippings on your lawn. Your wallet will also appreciate the change, as you will need fewer fertilizers and less water.
